Photovoltaic modules |
Solar
Photovoltaic modules consist of PV cell
circuits sealed in an environmentally
protective laminate, and are the fundamental
building blocks of PV systems. They work
by converting sun light directly into
electricity. The energy can be stored
in batteries and used later or can be
used in Grid-Tie systems to reduce the
electric bill or sell back electricity
to the power utility company. Solar modules
are the heart of most systems and are
very reliable because there are no moving
parts. Many of today's solar modules use
high efficient solar cells that make up
the module.
Solar
modules of the same size may produce variable
amounts of electricity - this discrepancy
arises from variations in the functioning
due to the age of the solar cells, the
quality of the solar cells, and with what
technology they were produced. Solar modules
have an effective lifespan of about 20
to 25 years.
